My thoughts were that it lost a step for a little while right after the 25 episode then things got good again and then the end was disappointing. However, I am comparing the show to itself at it’s best so by any other standards the poor episodes were still good. I really wish they had done something more interesting with the ending though, like having it turn out that Misa was the most cunning of them all and spin that off into another season. Such a fabulous show with such an uninspiring ending.
